We characterize some -limits using two-scale techniques and investigate a method to detect deviations from the arithmetic mean in the obtained -limit provided no periodicity assumptions are involved. We also prove some results on the properties of generalized two-scale convergence.
We give a version of the Moser-Trudinger inequality without boundary condition for Orlicz-Sobolev spaces embedded into exponential and multiple exponential spaces. We also derive the Concentration-Compactness Alternative for this inequality. As an application of our Concentration-Compactness Alternative we prove that a functional with the sub-critical growth attains its maximum.
The paper deals with the problem of finding a curve, going through the interior of the domain , accross which the flux , where is the solution of a mixed elliptic boundary value problem solved in , attains its maximum.
A theory of integral representation, relaxation and homogenization for some types of variational functionals taking extended real values and possibly being not finite also on large classes of regular functions is presented. Some applications to gradient constrained relaxation and homogenization problems are given.
The paper is devoted to the study of solvability of boundary value problems for the stream function, describing non-viscous, irrotional, subsonic flowes through cascades of profiles in a layer of variable thickness. From the definition of a classical solution the variational formulation is derive and the concept of a weak solution is introduced. The proof of the existence and uniqueness of the weak solution is based on the monotone operator theory.
Some conditions for existence of Lipschitz selections of multifunctions with decomposable values are given.
We find conditions for a smooth nonlinear map f: U → V between open subsets of Hilbert or Banach spaces to be locally convex in the sense that for some c and each positive ɛ < c the image f(B ɛ(x)) of each ɛ-ball B ɛ(x) ⊂ U is convex. We give a lower bound on c via the second order Lipschitz constant Lip2(f), the Lipschitz-open constant Lipo(f) of f, and the 2-convexity number conv2(X) of the Banach space X.
Vengono studiate proprietà di semicontinuità per integrali multipli quando soddisfa a condizioni di semicontinuità nelle variabili e può non essere soggetta a ipotesi di coercitività, e le successioni ammissibili in convergono fortemente in .
